How to Have a Successful Marriage

5 Tips for a Successful
Marriage

Today, May 24th, is my anniversary. We are
celebrating 38 wonderful years together. For anyone who has been married for
longer than 5 years, you will know that marriage
is a two-way street with lots of ups and downs, twists and turns. Luckily,
for me, I have experienced more ups than downs along with plenty of twists and
turns. I believe a large part of our success is due to five things:

5 Tips for a Successful
Marriage:

1.You have to be able to live with change. Everything changes through time, and
that includes people and relationships. It’s important to know that change is
part of the game of a successful marriage.

2.You have to be able to live with things you will never change. Anyone who goes into a marriage
thinking they will change the other person is doomed for failure. Some things
you will never change, so…to have a successful marriage just roll with it.

3.Take time to laugh, smile and share a hug each day. In this busy world, it is surprisingly easy to
forget this simple step.

4.Listen. Be
sure that you are truly listening and not just hearing what your partner is
saying. Marriages where both partners listen are always happier.

5.Trust. This is
the most important tip for a successful marriage, without trust you have
nothing and with trust you will have a long, happy and successful marriage.
